New here and confused *edit *2nd edit

My last period was July 14-21. My average cycle is 24 days. According to my period app I was to ovulate July 25. I cramped that day and felt the same as I always do when I ovulate. We had sex on July 17,19,20,21, 22 and 25th. I've cramped every day since the 25th - not typical. I've tested on August 3rd and 7th with negative results. The 7th being the day my period was due. Thursday morning (3 days late - again, not typical) I spotted some pink and in the afternoon brown and an hour ago (about 2:30am) thick brown and enough to change my panty liner. This is not regular for me. I usually cramp first thing in the morning my period is due and an hour later I start my period full force and bloody red and heavy for the first three days (really really heavy).

My confusion....suppose this is implantation bleeding then when should I test again? I did have implantation bleeding with my first however I didn't realize what it was at the time but thankfully I take notes so I was able to see that I did on my first that it wasn't my period. I was 6wks preg when I tested with my first pregnancy ten days late from my expected period.

So should I just wait two more weeks or should I test again tomorrow even with this weird brown bleeding I have going on? Thanks in advance.

*edit I guess I got my period? *shrug. Now I'm bleeding red this morning. I guess I'll just keep an eye on it, have sex when I think I'm ovulating and wait a month until my period. Oh well.

Updated with pee stick picture.
Should I be excited??? Is it possible to be wrong. Slight pink line showed up. When I tested before there was nothing.

Yes. I stared at it for about 30 seconds and watched the second line show up faintly. I then swept up some cat litter in the bathroom, trying to patiently wait two minutes. When I rechecked it darkened slightly more.
